Profile
About
Biography
I am an economist and doctoral researcher in Economics and Development at Sapienza University of Rome. My work spans international trade, economic development, political economy, institutional analysis and business ethics.
Since July 2026, I have been a Visiting Researcher at the Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo. At Sapienza, I research and teach economics and statistics.
Alongside my academic research, I have worked in economic policy analysis at Italy’s Ministry of Economic Development, in corporate finance at Procter & Gamble, and on international research projects. I am also involved in independent academic publishing and the editorial leadership of scholarly journals.
Across these roles, I have been interested in how institutions, rules and incentives shape development and economic choices, and how those choices raise questions of ethics and public responsibility.
Research methods
I use Python, R, Stata, SQL and Power BI for quantitative analysis and policy research. My research connects international economics with political and institutional questions.
